17. THREE MAIN
FACTORS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE
30.
An analysis of the human body and its subjective functions discloses three main
factors in the economy of human existence :-
I.
The human frame and the appended senses, composed of solid, liquid, gaseous,
calorific, and ethereal conditions of matter, along with the non-intelligent
forces of nature, generated by the action of energy through the medium peculiar
to each.
II.
The mind associated with antahkarana
(internal constitution) consisting of four functions, viz, (a) responses at the
mental plane, which give rise to thought; (b) the spiritual or the
attention-currents, by means of which thoughts are projected to their
objectives and are associated with them; (c) intelligence, which is the source
of comprehension and which is the lustre shed by the convergence of the
spiritual current; and (d) the ego, which differentiates its comprehension from
that of others.
III.
The spirit-force, which gives vitality to the other two main factors and
without the help of which the other two factors would remain dormant and
inoperative.
Body, mind and soul account for human existence. The spirit which gives life to both mind and body is the real basis of human existence. When the spirit leaves the body both the body and mind become useless.It is surprising that we forget the development of this most important factor of our existence. We develop our body and mind but not our soul or spirit. Brotherhood of man and world peace can be established if we try to develop our spiritual faculties.
ReplyDelete"When the spirit leaves the body both the body and mind become useless". What does this mean?
DeleteWhen body is bereft of the spirit/soul, death occurs. In death body and mind do not function.
DeleteNo madam. Only this physical body do not function. Mind continues to function till such time soul is liberated from subtle body.

ReplyDeleteAccording to Sir Sahab ji Maharaj after death of a satsangi it takes three days to the soul to get liberated from subtle body. That's why Satsang is held on third day after death of a satsangi. After death of a satsangi, soul in subtle body tries to enter into its corporeal frame till it is cremated.
